Restaurant

We had been here before a few years ago and it was good then. Now we came back with our grandchildren. Great kids menu with really good mac n cheese, hot dogs and burgers. Brisket was quite good. Service excellent and attentive. Magna doodle for the kids while you wait. Got the kids food out fast. 100 beers on the menu. 3 barbecue sauces, Texas, regular and habanero. Even though I like really hot sauce, the regular was the best. Nice evening with the grandkids

love the food very good but the spaghetti I ordered had no taste at all. The sauce just tasted like water. And the spaghetti didn't have that salty taste.

Had a wonderful time with my mother in law today! Service was fast, friendly and timed perfectly... Thanks to Chris our waiter! We came when they I opened, so it wasn't busy. We dined inside although they do have a very large patio deck (with heaters for the evening). Enjoy the Skyline view of downtown San Diego at no extra charge LOL. Prices are reasonable, portions are enough... Of coarse unless your eating the chocolate lava cake! Weekdays are slower if you prefer not to feel crowded ;-)

Had a wonderful time at this restaurant for our wedding anniversary. My husband mentioned he noted it was our anniversary at reservation. Other restaurants seem to treat us extra special on our anniversary in the past but we didn't get anything out the ordinary here, though customer service was still wonderful, and we did get a military discount which was a pleasant surprise. Reservations were easy to make and modify online , staff was very sweet and professional. View was absolutely amazing of course considering the location, and everything came out nicely. I thought the food was pretty good but nothing that knocked my socks off. It's been years since I've been to Il Fornaio, but it seems as the food menu has become a bit more simplified, so I had higher expectations for quality and flavor with that being the case. Nothing bad by any stretch of the imagination, but I've had better Italian at other places in San Diego. I would probably still recommend this place for tourists wanting a restaurant with a sophisticated, yet not pretentious feel, with an amazing view of San Diego.

Coconut shrimp, shrimp tacos and grilled mahi tacos were excellent. I enjoyed the margarita and sitting outside with a beautiful view. Service was excellent!

I had a wedding reception there and they allowed me to decorate the way I wanted it, the night manager allowed us to stay way past the closing time to finish (thank you for that!) Beautiful location, views are amazing, Friendly staff but the managers had a miscommunication on what time we needed to be out of there. The day manager said we could be there all night long but the day of the reception the night manager said we needed to be out of there by 7. He told us this NEW information close to 7.... We had to end the party a little after that. But overall experience was wonderful.

Stopped in for late night drinks and dessert. We ordered both the pineapple upside down cake and the chocolate lava cake. The reviews were split. One person thought the pineapple upside down cake was the best and two people including myself thought the chocolate lava cake was the best. It was hot and when eaten with the vanilla ice cream was a perfect combination. Will order it again before we leave!

Went for happy hour and had the wood fire grilled octopus and carnival roll. Both were excellent. Friendly attentive wait staff. I’m going back for dinner one night!

This is a great consistent restaurant. I have eaten at the chicago location twice and now in San Diego twice. All times the service and food are excellent. See my posted pictures of each course. We had sea bass and swordfish and every bite was delicious and the sauces were paired perfectly. The crab corn chowder is a must have! The crab cake is large, plenty enough to share for 2 and is almost all crab with little filler. This is an upscale place not inexpensive but definitely worth the visit.

Clayton's consists of a taco shack, classic diner and a coffee/smoothie stand. It is worth the drive to Coronado just to stop at one of these.

I’m actually surprised this place is rated above a 4...the food quality is good but they are incredibly slow and poor service. We were there on a Sunday night with about 4 other tables, yet with 3 sushi chefs they took 45 min to get our food out and it was piecemeal such that some were done while others hadn’t even gotten their food yet. Drinks went un-refilled and we even had to cancel an extra roll that we ordered because it took too long. Disappointed...if we were local we’d likely not go here often if at all. Two stars only because the sushi quality was good once it showed up.

VERY GREAT FOOD

Great service!!!!

Consistently fresh and delicious

My fiance and I travelled to San Diego for holiday this past April. We love seafood so we were very excited to try this restaurant. It was close to downtown so we were able to travel here on bicycle. When you first walk in there is a very potent fish smell, but you should expect this because it is a fish market restaurant. I only write that comment because I heard people complaining about that in the entrance while we were there. The food was really good with generous portions, and our service was great too. An added bonus is there was a lovely view of the harbour. I would eat here again!

Good food but not a place to get in an out of within an hour.Soups are good but entrees are pretty petite and pricey.

I have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. What ever the occasion you can fit this place into it. Our last visit was for cheesecake only after a photo shoot and at the same time there was a wedding reception! My personal favorite is the Mango Key Lime Cheesecake. Enjoy.

Best Subway on base.

Great dinner, great steak, great wine - All as expected But! What about that glorious cheesecake they have! Totally worth it to hold your instincts and not order too much food so you can enjoy this great dessert! Service is great from the moment you step out of your car and back again to it.
